It's been either hot as blazes, or rainy and humid, or extremely windy -- and the next step on my droid involved painting. Today I got a weather break; an utterly perfect painting day.
I began giving the skins (still on the body) and all the little frames associated with the skins several coats of Rustoleum Satin White. This went pretty quickly, although part-way through...the WIND PICKED UP AGAIN! Arrrgh! Yes, some tiny bits of I-don't-know-what embedded themselves in the still-wet paint. I gave those bits a good hard look, and then decided they'd look great when I started the weathering process -- Whew!! I didn't take pictures of the white paint going on, as it looked a bit boring. White! On white! Woooo!
Okay, next up was the dome ring, and dome panels (drum roll please) featuring my committment to a yellow droid! I've been looking forward to this for a long, long time...
Another whoopsie that has me grateful I'd decided early on to do a heavily-weathered droid:
They will all dry overnight in my spare room -- here you can see the color a bit better. I may do one more coat tomorrow!
The last of my resin parts from the entirely awesome Keith arrived today -- looks like resin prep will be my next big step!
